is that the ear one?

or the underside of tongue?


Ouh, it's that cartilage that sticks out infront of your ear lobe, right?

If memory serves me correct, think i've know/seen the same ammount of males to females with this bit pierced.


ear one

like the bit that pokes out just above the earhole


I have this

it hurt, but it looks cool ( I think).

On a slightly different topic...how does one go about getting a flesh hole? How do they work?


flesh tunnel?

Don't do it.


first of all

you get a tongue bar and ram that through, then you buy stretchers like 3mm, 5mm, 8mm, 10mm until you reach the size of your choice and put a nice plug or tunnel in that you like.
two tips:
1. don't move up too quickly. let it heal each time before moving up a size.
2. make your earlobe wet before putting in the next stretcher
3. whack the whole thing in at once. if you leave it half way through it swells up after 10 minutes and then you'll take ages over it. best to just bang it in
4. i was told not to go over a 10mm if i wanted it to close again, so i only went to 8 but its not closing. but thats ok.

the end. :)


that was

more than 2 tips.


Thank You

I might do this, and have small 4mm ones and leave it at that. Its likely that I will have to remove them permanently for work/career...


i figured

that i wouldn't want the sort of employer who wouldn't let me work because of my earlobes. that was my logic...

i went from 1.2 (tongue bar width) to 3, and that wasn't too painful... 4 might be ok, but it is best not to make such big jumps early on.


shucks

i didn't read properly, sorry


it's actually pretty easy

to make them pretty much unnoticeable for work, if its even that much of an issue - some places aren't bothered. If they are:

People can see them if they're really looking hard, but people don't tend to study your earlobes intently.


:(

They dont have them in brown :(


hmmmm

actually the manufacturers make several different tones which you could get hold of without too much trouble:

I don't know if the darkest one is any good?


I had to research

what the hell you're talking about. I couldn't say whether it's for men or women but it looks a bit stupid imo.


Please don't

you're one piercing is fine. just leave it at that! lol


*your

poor effort with the grammar :(


hmm

yep
have had one for years
*shrug*


I have this

but I am female. Don't see a prob with a guy getting it done. Probably the least painful piercing I've had (and that includes top of ear, nose and belly button in the past).


all piercings are lame

you should definately brand something into your skin instead, much cooler


morning!

I advise you no no no no noooooooooooooooooo don't get it done! Tragus can be for males or females, and mine looked amazing. But it hurt more than when I had my wotsit done and my tattoos (both in sensitive places). It's not worth it, for such a small piercing it fucking hurts and is a pain in the ars


Gross

seriously
